Our beloved Grandpa, Roy Kaufman, passed away today.  We miss you.

These are pictures from our trip to LA for Art of the Brain that happened just over the weekend of Sept 17th.  We are all very please to have spent the time with Roy and to take the moments to tell him we loved him.

Happy and contented.  I will miss seeing moments like this.

Roy Kaufman it was an honor to know and learn from you.  You are an amazing son, husband, father, and grandfather.  I'm sad for our boys, they needed many more years, they needed your moral compass, and your insight.  They needed more of you.
